(There has been a growing interest in the artistic relatio...)
There has been a growing interest in the artistic relationships between Venice and the Netherlands on 1550-1600. Unfortunately the scarcity of documentation on the period and the destruction of many works during the Eighty Years War (1568-1648) have kept the study of this period in its infancy. Of Dirck Barendsz (1534-1592), whose ties with Venice have long been known, a bit more information may be obtained from his few authentic paintings and drawings, from prints after lost designs, and from the text of Carel van Mander who in his Schilder-Boeck calls Barendsz an 'excellent painter from Amsterdam'. The author of this study evaluates the artist's development and judges its effects on his contemporaries. He also discusses Barendsz's involvement with the thoughts of his day. A number of tentative conclusions are drawn, with the hope of arousing the interest of more scholars in the interpretation of late sixteenth-century religious imagery. In addition, the author, who is Chairman of the Art Department at Smith College, Northampton, Mass., gives a full catalogue of the artist's extant works and the prints after his designs.

Gerrit van Honthorst (1590-1656), known today primarily for his candlelight scenes, was also famous during the seventeenth century for his mythological and historical paintings, and was a favorite of the courts 1 in England, Denmark and the Netherlands. It is my intention here to study his oeuvre in order to determine his contribution to the develop- ment of Dutch painting at that time. In discussing Honthorst, I have chosen only those paintings which are autograph to avoid basing conclusions upon works of questionable attri- bution. The problem paintings which I have decided to be from his hand will be treated in the Catalogue Raisonne. I have dealt with Honthorst's portraiture only in so far as it seemed to be of significance for new trends in Dutch painting. The basic material concerning Honthorst was first published by Pro- fessor G. J. Hoogewerff in three articles for Onze Kunst in 1917. In this series of articles Professor Hoogewerff established a chronology of Hont- horst's Italian works and gave some indication of his stylistic development.

(The complexity and variety of sixteenth-century Netherlan...)
The complexity and variety of sixteenth-century Netherlandish art endow it with a particular dynamism. It was in the sixteenth century that drawing attained an independent status as an art in itself, distinct from painting; landscape increasingly became a separate genre; and artists consciously referred to the great masters of the past, showing the tremendous influence of Italian art in their own works. This volume documents the unique qualities of the art of drawing during the age of Bruegel. Designed to accompany an exhibition at the National Gallery of Art and The Pierpont Morgan Library, the book is also an invaluable scholarly record. In addition to 123 catalogue entries and more than 350 reproductions of rarely-seen drawings, three in-depth essays contain discussions of the art of the period. Its development is traced from a late medieval style at the end of the fifteenth century to the influence of the Italian Renaissance and mannerism in the 1500s, and ultimately to the beginning of the baroque period in the early 1600s. The detailed entries encompass works by sixty-two artists, including Hieronymus Bosch, Jan Gossaert, Lucas van Leyden, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Jan Brueghel the Elder, Karel van Mander, and others. The book will interest specialists and also general readers attracted by the warmth of Netherlandish art.
